FAREWELL 2006!!!

As I say goodbye to 2006 I reflect on all that took place in the past year. So many great things happened in 2006, the only things that would have made it absolutely perfect would be me getting my MD degree and finding the man of my dreams(actually I know the man of my dreams , he just isn't mine...anymore...). I have so much to be thankful for. My year was definitely prosperous and I thank God for his many blessings.

Thank God for the best family, wonderful friends and FINE young men!!!!!!

Now for my new year resolutions!!!!!!!

1.Be more spiritually grounded.
2. Get my degree!!!
3. Find a man...lol !!!
4. Get fit.
5. Find a man!!!

Why Did You Make Me Black Lord...

Having lived in Jamaica all my life, I never really faced racism. I never went through any of the things I have heard some of my friends who have lived here talk about. Since I've been here I've been faced with certain situations in which I was discriminated against because of the color of my skin. However, it has not affected me in the way it affects my African-American friends. I have found it easy to just 'shake it off' and class the people who 'tried' to hold me down, as ignorant. I know what I can do, who cares what they think. Although, I strongly believe if African Americans would do as I do they would not feel inferior and would be able to overcome the pressure, I understand it is easier said than done. I wish there was a way I could reach out the the African-Americans and give them a way to ignore racial discrimination and prove themselves worthy of equal treatment. We all wish for a society where there is no racism and we are all treated equally. But until this is achieved we need to hold our heads up and prove to the world that despite all the opposition we are able to succeed. We are strong. We are survivors. We are BLESSED!!!

Someone sent me this in an email and I thought it would be nice to share this to encourage those who need the encouragement.

Why Did You Make Me Black Lord .....Lord .....
Why did you make me black?
Why did you make someone the world would hold back?

Black is the color of dirty clothes,of grimy hands and feet...
Black is the color of darkness,of tired beaten streets...

Why did you give me thick lips,a broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did you create someone who receives the hated stare?

Black is the color of the bruised eye when someone gets hurt...
Black is the color of darkness,black is the color of dirt.

Why is my bone structure so thick,my hips and cheeks so high?
Why are my eyes brown,and not the color of the sky?
Why do people think I'm useless?
How come I feel so used?
Why do people see my skin and think I should be abused?

Lord, I just don't understand....
What is it about my skin?
Why is it some people want to hate me and not know the person within?

Black is what people are "Labeled"when others want to keep them away...
Black is the color of shadows cast...
Black is the end of the day.

Lord you know my own people mistreat me,and you know this just ain't right...
They don't like my hair, they don't like my skin, as they say I'm too dark or too light!
Lord, don't you think it's time to make a change?
Why don't you redo creation and make everyone the same?

GOD's Reply:

Why did I make you black?
Why did I make you black?

I made you in the color of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed...
I made you in the color of oil,the black gold which keeps people warm.
Your color is the same as the rich dark soil that grows the food you need...
Your color is the same as the black stallion and panther,
Oh what majestic creatures indeed!
All colors of the heavenly rainbow can be found throughout every nation...
When all these colors are blended,you become my greatest creation!

Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool,such a beautiful creature is he...
I am the shepherd who watches them,I will ALWAYS watch over thee!
You are the color of the midnight sky,I put star glitter in your eyes...
There's a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain...
That's why your cheeks are so high!

You are the color of dark clouds from the hurricanes I create in September...
I made your lips so full and thick,so when you kiss...they will remember!
Your stature is strong,your bone structure thick to withstand the burden of time...
The reflection you see in the mirror,that image that looks back,..that is MINE!

So get off your knees,look in the mirror and tell me what you see?
I didn't make you in the image of darkness...
I made you in the image of ME!


Hope I made someone's day brighter.

Keep your heads up!!!!!!!!

Hope I didn't offend anyone. If I did I'm sorry!!!!!!!!

It's finally here!!!! My last day at school...at least fot this semester. Never thought I'd have survived. Despite the fact that I'm freezing my ass off I'm as happy as can be. The partying is offically on. I'm so going to out do Britney Spears and Paris Hilton this holiday. However, I will be wearing panties.
It is way beyond my comprehension how Britney Spears could be so stupid. I am not usually into celeb gossip but this girl has me reading magazines and watching E wandering what silly thing she did that day. What makes her think it's fine to go out partying without undies, especially when she KNOWS she is being watched, plus she doesn't even try to conceal her 'u know what' (some doctor I'm gonna be...). And to top it off she in the middle of a custody battle. What a way to impress the judge.

I know you must have a comment on the wild behaviours of celebs... let me hear it!!!!

Fried Brains...

Im back!!!!!!!!! Although I shouldn't be...at least not tonight. Microbiology final tomorrow....(scream)...will I be sane after it's over...we'll see. Life has been full of homework filled mornings, evenings, noons and nights. I barely have time for life sustaining things like EATING. That, my friend, is very sad. I say a lot of things are sad, don't I? Sorry...I guess life as a college student..or at this college is sad.
Previous semesters were fun-filled.There were fascinating 'male creatures', which was good enough to keep me interested in school. I mean what can I say, I am totally intrigued by them. They are, after all, one of the finer things in life, despite their many flaws.
Well, since my brain is already partially fried. I guess I should save whatever brain functions I have left to help me do the Micro final.

Wish me luck!!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO HAVE FINALS!!!!

I will be praying for u!!!!
